Qualifications
I haven’t, but I did do horse riding at FEI standard stables for 4 years and grew up on a horse farm so I didn’t think it necessary to go do a qualification in horses. I did however do a degree in human movement sciences and sport coaching with psychology and I am currently busy with my post graduate diploma in business management.
Duties of Current Occupation
Stable management Coaching Planting, harvesting and bailing Training young horses Horse riding Driving tractor Preparing arenas for use Finances Grooming Feeding horses, sheep and goat
Equine Work Experience
I grew up on a horse farm in South Africa and have been ridding by myself since I was 3 years old. I did my first horse show when I was 4 years old. I competed throughout my school years 4-17. I started coaching when I was 15 and have been coaching ever since (now 8 years). I have broken in many horses trough join-up. I am also very handy with general farm work and tractor work.
Specialities
I have worked with foals, mares, geldings and stallions.
I have experience in leading teams. I am currently the yard coach manager as well.
I have very high standards for my horses turn out, clean tack, neat attire and a neat yard and stables.
Type of Ride Work
Dressage Show jumping Showing Western ridding
On problem horses, green horses, young, old and FEI level horses.
Competition Details
Yes, I started doing competitions when I was 4 years old and did them until I was 17. I unfortunately had to stop for a while in my final year of school and my time at the university because of the lack of time and high academic requirements. I did however do horse riding for your university as a representative for our Rugby team.
